OpenGL Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 And no, I don't have to wake up tomorrow morning and go to work or anything like that. In fact I don't work all weekend. Anybody else socially reach rock bottom like me? I don't even know what to do with my time anymore.
sb129 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Welcome to my world. Having babies annihilates your social life.
Author OpenGL Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 Uh yeah, I meant single people with no kids.
sb129 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 So say so in your OP. Sorry for caring. Or you could look at it this way- the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. When I WAS single and had no kids, going to bed early on a friday wasn't the end of the world, sometimes its nice to have time out on your own. Obviously you don't think that.
SoulSearch_CO Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 How old are you, GL? Just curious. I'm 29 and I think "social life" is a little over-rated. But I'm working all night (until 6am MST), so I guess I don't really care. LOL Don't you have any guy buddies you can go hang out with?

Anybody else socially reach rock bottom like me? I don't even know what to do with my time anymore. I think the challenge is finding enough time to fit in a social life because there is so much to do (far more than there's time enough to do it in). Maybe if can give up sleeping for a while.... (But how much fun would I be at parties if I hadn't slept in a week or six?)
lab_brat Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 iSketch LS PARRRRRRRRRTY ROFLOL. Party it up Bob. Party it up
CarrieT Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Uh yeah, I meant single people with no kids. I'm there with you. I was asleep by 9:30 last night. Now it is almost 5:00 a.m. and I'm wide awake, wondering what to do with the rest of my weekend. You are not alone. (And I have no kids)
BobSacamento Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 You know you could always go to a bar. I know you might think it's lame or something but if you find the right place you can find a great bartender. My friends and I go to this one place and we get invited to the bartender's BBQs occasionally. Eventually with time I have no problem going in alone just to talk to him. And remember it's part of his job.
BlueHarvest Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 And remember it's part of his job. Exactly....I would never feel someone in that sort of position was being genuine with me unless something major connected between us, like a mutual interest or going to the same high school or something. Most of the time I view people who are in service positions who strike up conversation as "just doing their job" and I don't mind it, but at the same time I don't feel its the "real" them so I tend to just ignore it. @OpenGL yes I feel you. 25 and Single here and doing absolutely nothing. I almost hope for weekend projects from work so I have something to do.
boogieboy Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Thats why I forced myself to go to a club on a friday. I have no friends, so I have to make them. I have a local club that I sometimes go to that has the kinda people I like in it. Im not a club person either, but it Keeps me from going to bed at 9pm, watching seinfeld reruns.

Few social occasions will ever beat watching Seinfield, hugging a bowl of comfort food!
westernxer Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Last night I fell asleep before 10 p.m. Was so sleepy, so going anywhere was out of the question. Friday nights are usually like this. My work week is mentally exhausting, plus I have to wake up so early in the morning, that I welcome the weekend respite. I'm not much of a club person and don't drink, so my options are somewhat limited. This is all self-imposed, of course. LOL
SilverChrome Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 That's quite normal for some, I'm sure there are others out there that share the same situation. I used to sleep early during weekends and hardly go out. That lasted a few months then I got bored. Lol.
LucreziaBorgia Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I'm there. I usually watch movies on my laptop, get into a few good books, work on a project - stuff like that. I just don't have the tolerance for the "nightlife" around here anymore. It is a college town, so the people are either young and bursting at the seams from penny draft or they are closer to my age and well moneyed raging cokeheads. Nightlife just isn't for me anymore. I would have to say in my case it is more of a choice though than a lack of choices. I could go out if I wanted to, but I really don't want to anymore. 1
Sam Spade Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I'm in transition right now (dating) but look forward to the moment in my life where hightlife will be reduced to 2 options: 1) Playing with the baby on the floor 2) Calling a baby sitter, dressing up, going up to a nice restaurant and then bar (solo or with a few friends), to be done by midnight tops. I have spoken .
Star Gazer Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 BF left for Germany, and I didn't want to join my girlfriends for a pub crawl, so I'm home alone enjoying catching up on Project Runway on my DVR. I'll be snoozin' early as well. I actually quite like it.

If you feel like an outcast because you'd rather be doing something else but can't, just make more friends. I know, easier said than done. But what other option do you have? Regardless, I'll be your friend! lol
